Solid game overall, just missed some hints about were to go and it was way too easy to die. xD
Amazing job. Great game. Enjoyed playing it. Would definitely want you to enhance it even further with some music and SFX.
I like it, with some more traps and levels this could be a pretty cool game. Just needs some sounds and music. I played it tonight on my livestream if you wanted to see the replay for feedback you can check it out here
Awesome video man, thanks for trying out the game and giving the feedback! I agree with the need for more ambience and sound effects. After the game jam voting is over, we plan to integrate the procedural maps and add more sounds and music, as well as more traps. Thanks again!
Thats awesome, procedural maps are always fun to make and makes the player experience so much better most of the time too.
Nice, I can imagine that this game in first person perspective and with realistic zombies (or aliens?) can be AMAZINGLY scary. Because already it pumps adrenaline into your veins.
Solid entry, loved this maze runner game... I just couldn't escape!
Good feel, nice animations, game play was solid... yeah great entry!
One of my favourite games from the jam, mainly because of the suspense it creates. Excellent visuals.
Is the map procedurally generated or fixed? Will play more of it after the jam.
The plan was to integrate a procedural generation for each new game, but we didn't finish the tech, so right now it's just 3 hand crafted maps, but with randomized 'secret victory' locations.
Yeh thats how we did our game, but it was deliberate in our case so we could put the art exactly where we wanted to
nice, yeah i quickly noticed that a procedural map would be very difficult to make work smoothly within 2 weeks. But me and my partner definitely plan to get it working for this game now, along with some other features. Anyway thanks for the review and feedback!
Fun little game and great visuals!
Nice game! killing zombies was cool and I really like the maze layout but I was always eaten before I was able to find the right exit :D
Ha! The joke is on us, for trying to find a golden door, when the theme of the jam is what it is!!! Not clear however how we escape, if you ever allow us to escape? Impressive maze! I like that we spawn in different locations each time, (or is it a randomly / procedurally generated maze system? I'd be mighty impressed...)
[pause to play game again]
I was about to give you a lower rating, because I felt like the mechanic was a bit bland, as you only just walk around avoiding zombies in the maze... BUT, as I was trying to suggest that the traps should kill zombies, I was like: "Wait, did I actually try this?! NO!!!" haha, so I went back and tried it and it works. Somehow I missed the clue lol, that these traps are so easy to trigger, so there is no reason for you to do so, unless... it's for killing the brainless zombies haha. Well done. I still though couldn't figure out how else I could get out, but now I love the concept of trying to run around and trip up the zombies so you can survive long enough to escape. Maybe the difficult curve there needs a bit of tweaking because I played in normal and still couldn't get far.
you have an issue with your SFX because the volume is incredibly low and had to crank up my speakers to hear a faint footstep.... Some music would definitely be nice, but I don't blame you, I didn't put music in my game either; no time.
Good job, I like to see what others make with Unreal because I use it too.
Enjoyed the mood of the game so much. running into a pack of zombies while I was running from another pack was nerve racking lol. I went through the golden door(as everyone probably did lol) obviously did not work out, then I tried to lure the zombies into the golden doors but I guess they were not interested in that.
then I tried to kill myself to wake up from the dream and guess we all know how that turned out lol. then I tried to escape from the holes that zombies were spawned and no luck there either. finally I turned on my zombie killing instincts and killed all the zombies and decided to remain in the facility in peace.
I'm not sure if that was the ending but that was certainly good enough for me.
Thank you for the feedback! There is supposed to be one tunnel to escape through, but it's selected randomly each time you start the game. I've added to my 'todo list' to put a rock wall or some kind of physical barrier on the caves that do not have the exit.
Wow very polished game. Took me a sec to figure out what to do with the traps . The music and lighting really sold the atmosphere of being locked up with brain eating zombies. I found the golden gate eventually only to be eaten by zombies. Never the less awesome game 10 brain-eating zombies out of 10.
I only found golden doors that lead me to a horde of zombies, is there a safe door?
I really liked to play, Very fun, the models are beautiful too, it would be awesome if we can find weapons and bang bang pew pew pew pew pew booommmmmm.
awesome work
I don't want to spoil anything, but I should point out that there IS a safe way to exit the facility and win the game. And yeah hand held weapons were planned to give players something other than the traps to fight back!
We were thinking about adding more, I started a system for it but time limits, we didn't want to wind up with too much to do. I had the start of random level generation but getting it balanced in time would have been too much.
I never found the golden door but I smashed some zombies with the traps.
I enjoyed this game very much, but I would love if the trap switched on again because whenever trap is used and I walked wrong way I was already doomed.
Overall good job :)
I really like it! It is polished and fun to play!! Good work!
A bit to much zombies but overall good and polished game with a wierd "ending".
I found two golden doors, but got eaten by zombies :P
Fun game!
Zombies too many zombies.
I found a golden door which was the wrong one. Not sure if there actually is a true door but overall still fun and interesting
Smart zombies. I was not able to find the door.
